From Hospital Report.
Little frankie was two and one-half years old.
His father died in March. Within week an
elder brother died. In July the mother was sick
and as there was another baby to be cared for,
frankie was sent to the ward He had had
scarlet fever when six months old, and never
afterward had been well. He had always

fellow occupied bed supported in the name of a
child angel whose earth-life was terminated by

frankie also had passed away. Yet the comfort
of his last days was without doubt greatly in
creased by the soft, clean bed aud the constant
care thus furnished to him.

Precocious Berthe.

Detroit Free Press.
Little Berthe Miller. three years old. has long
had deep yearing to know what was inside the
head of his sisters big doll. So, the other day,
he found tack hammer and, by aid Of that
simple instrument, satisfied his curiosity.
''Oh BERTHE" cried his mother. the smash
of china brought her to the scene of the expert
ment how could you do it! How could you do
it, Bertie2'
Easy" replied BERTHE, with bland and self
satisfied smile.
Like most children, BERTHE is full of policy,
and whichever he has reason to think that he is
about to be scolded or punished he practices his
most winning wiles to divert the attention or
secure the favor of his mother. Not long ago
the latter reproved him for pinching his kitten,
and said: Now I'm going to pinch you, so you
can see how it feels
.Oh, mamma" cried BERTHE, smoothing her
cheeks affectionately, what pity f'ekles you
havel Your feckles amt back like most poo
pies is"
But he got pinched all the same.
On another occasion, while the family doctor
was making a visit in the house, BERTHE stood at
the window gazing fxedly at his horse, very
lean and sorry looking animal
What are you thinking of, Bertie?" asked the
doctor.
II t'ink yonr horse have such fat bones.' he
replied "Dey so fat dey just tick out"

been over land, and the end is not yet.
There is only one way to settle this
land difficulty, and that is by having all
land taxed alike. No one would
lose anything by such method
as this. When this thing is
done you will see the biggest
boom you ever saw here, for then all
the unoccupied land will have to be
thrown open to men who would build III
they could get the land at reasonable
price. When this time comes you Will
see two bosses after one working man,
and then the working hours will be re-
duced, as they should be. Then there
would be no nooverprOduction; instead, we
would have tOProcure more workmen. A
land tax means business, and the stop

and that in twenty-five years we would
have the condition of things here that
there is in Ireland. Now the tariff ques-
ton. 1t was first put on to support the
government, and is really the most ex-
pensive kind of a tax against the people.
No protective tariff ever protected a
wOrkingman in the world. and we know
it, because it has been fully tried.
In speaking of the number of labOring
people in the United States Mr.. FOgg
said that he did not call ministers, clerks

ton tariff which did any good in this
world, and there never will be, either.

boom as it never had before"

ALL SORTS.

The Tribune now refers to Carmen Y.
Smith as Coroner Smith. While this is
accidental, it is highly appropriate. The
GLOBE has already shown that Carmen
held the inquest on the remains of the
Minneapolis G. o. P. when it died, last
spring. of an overdose of ward gerry
mander.
A typographical error yesterday made
the GLOBE say ID. b. johnson would
rather be a lawyer than policeman.
Although Davy at one time aspired to
be police commissioner, it is not in
tended to compare his status as an at
torney with the position of patrolman,
and the word politician was intended
instead of policeman.
Col. Charley Robinson, who is said to
have ''rather sensitive ear" is nettled
at the intimationS of certain Democrats
that the Republican campaign methods
are not above reprOach, and has printed
a statement of which the following is
an extract:
The Republicans go into campaign in a
business-like way. They go out and collect,
and have the money in hand before they be-
gin. At the start a set of books is procured.
and there is system of bookkeeping the
same as in other lines of business. Not only
that. but we keep separate check book, and
keep the money i'll a separate bank from our
own money. We pay all the debts i'll checks.

Price of Pictures Past and Present

Price of Pictures Past and Present
Nineteenth Century.
+ In the days of Sir Joshua Reynolds
very fine landscapes by such masters as
Claude, Poussin, Cuyp, Ruysdael and
HObbema were to be bought for 200 or
800 guinness, and the highest for a Claude
was $500 for that beautiful picture
known as ''The Enchanted Castle" in
the sale of M. de CalOnne's the French
ambassador collection in 1795 in Lon
don, and 9500 for the companion
picture, described in the sale cata-
has now not been identified. The prices
which evlnce high estimate of Claude
before the days of modern landscape
are positively insignificant compared to
those paid at auction during the last
twenty years for landscapes and sea
pieces by Turner, Constable, David Cox.
COpley, Fielding, William Collins, w.
Muller, Stanfield and Linnell. These
go by thousands instead of hunreds
of guineas. And Gainsborough

IN THE WAY.
A New Phase of the Saloon Ques-
tiOn Comes Up.


tiOn Comes Up.
This morning the hearing will be had
in the district court upon the applica-
ton of John j. McGregOr, proprietor of
the saloon at 80 Second street south, for
an injunction restraining George A.
Brackett, w. d. Washburn, c. M. LOr-
ing ct al from tearing up the sidewalk
i'm front of his saloon and
otherwise treSpasSing upon his
property. The complaint sets forth
that he obtained a two years lease of
the two-story building occupied by his
saloon June 80, from E. T. POmerOy and
Julia C.. Thompson, the owners. SubSe
quently the defendants bought the
property, subject to the lease. Re-
Gently they began an excavation for a
large business block adjoining his prop
erty, and have also torn up his side
walk and made an excavation in front
of his saloon, thus preventing entrance
and destroying his business. He values
his unexpired lease at $500. and there
fore asks to have the defendants perpet-
uaIly restrained from further interfer-
ence.
The defendants in their answer assert
that they purchased the ground from
UllG ltSSttS VI llIC DulluiliS Oull y, III
tending to erect a business block cost
ing not less than Sl5O,000, and the plain
tiff, knowing this, procured lease of
the building IN order that he
might extort money from them in order
to secure his removal; further, that
his saloon is the resort of bad charac-
ters of both sexes, and that because of
this he has been unable to procure a Ii
cense. and is under indictment for sell
ing liquor without license: that, while
they do not intend to interfere with his
business, they desire to build an area
wa IL under the sidewalk, and are will
ing to pay him $500 for his lease and
fixtures.
McGregor replies to this by denying
that he keeps resort of ill-repute, and
states that he has a license.
The action of the court will be inter
eSting to note. The defendants expect
to put up a building that will cover half
block, but rather than pay McGregor
his price will build all around him, and
when the lease expires next June will
complete the corner.

THE BIBLE AND EDUCATION.
The Holy Book Must Be Brought
Into Every Perfect system.

INTO Every fefIccI SySteuu.
At Centenary church Rev. DR.. Van
Anda preached from III. Timothy ill.,,
15-I6-That system of education which
Sights the Bible is radically defective.
He said a true education develops the
whole man. That is not complete man
part only of whose body is developed.
And such an athlete is only superior
animal, if his mind be neglected. Add
intellectual education-Still if the spirit
ual or religious element be undeyelOped
| or enormously developed, he is not, in
the true sense. an educated man. The
religious element in human notion is as
real and as necessary to complete man.
! hood as the physical or intellectual
! We must have a god; if not the true
God. then a false one. And further, we
| become like our god-like the being we
love and serve: They that make them
/ are like unto them, so is every one that
trusteth in Them" In complete educa-
ton the Bible is a necessity. 1t only
reveals God. True, Creation declares
| His eternal power good heart; bu
there are contradictions as to the
| thought of Gods goodness, as for eX-
| ample the existence of suffering by the
! innocent and the good. If God can
prevent sin and misery, is He worthy
our love if he does not; if he cannot, is
| it safe to trust him? The Scriptures
| alone teach clearly that God is sovereign
| and man is free. And since man is free,
| he may sin, and if he does. then, since
| God is holy, the sinner must suffer, and
| this suffering often involves the inno-
cent with the guilty.
The Bible also teaches the nature of
man, his duty and destiny as 10 other
book does. If we bring plant, or an
animal to perfection, we must know its
nature. So child'S nature must be
known. The Bible declares him to be
the child of God, made and redeemed by
Him, and that the Creator designed that
he should be holy, and live devoted to
Him who made and redeemed him. But
look at results. Contrast the civiliZa-
ton of now-Bible with Bible lands
we are not blind to the corruption of So
called Christian lands, London or New
York, but they are corrupt in spite of
Bible civilization with all the faults
tnat continue in spite of it, rather than
that of claSSicilandS at their best.
But we are sinners and need Say
ior. Where shall we find Him. Science
and philosophy do not reveal Him. sThe
Bible does. Type and prophecy, para
ble and miracle, poetry and history, as
found in the Bible, all say, Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the
sin of the world" Let us study the
Bible in private, in the home and in the
church. Let ministers preach the Word
and let our colleges and universities
have an endowed chair of Biblical
knowledge. Then we shall be on the
road to the best education. Then we
shall obtain the kingdom of God and
His righteousness, and all good things
shall be added.

A Narrow ESCane.

A child fell into seventy-foot well at
POmeroy, W. T., the other day, and as
she fell grabbed one of the buckets,
which went to the bottom with her. The
mother, On missing the child, went to
. the well and began to turn the windlasS,
and found that her child was hanging to
the rope below. ''AbOut the time the
mother gave out" says the report, ''the
bucket from the top met the one half
way down coming up with the child,
which had presence of mind enough to
catch the descending rope and rest her
mother, who soon rallied sufficient
strength to pull her jewell to the top.
The child sustained only few bruises" !"

The people of the Seventh regard such
things as an outrage, and they think
another man can be elected"
"A few days later the Journal con-
tanned the following editorial note:
H'License Inspector Smith wants to
know if people are aware of the viola
tions of the ordinance, why don't they
prosecute? Why don't they? Well,
that's rich. Perhaps if Mr.. Smith
wanted to he could tell several reasons
why large number of people have had
the mantle of reform thrown about
them. You are pretty smooth, Mr..
Smith, but the public are on to yOu."
All of these facts are given in cOnnec-
ton with the ''great conspiracy" and
